Tuesday 12 March

Isaiah 55:10-11; Psalm 34; Matthew 6:7-15.

Our Father

For many people, prayer can seem a bit of a mystery. All it is, however, is a response to God. It is a ‘thank you’, an ‘I love you’, a request for help. We respond to God in prayer a bit like a plant responds to water by putting out flowers. God waters us through his grace and in responding to this we can cry out Abba, Father – holy be your name. We can cry out in joy in praising God or cry out in need asking for his help. It is good to take time each day to respond to God’s grace in prayer.
